Description
Ink and watercolour. I love the story of these magikal lovers- the REAL story, that is, not the anti-powerful-women-deny-feminine divinity monks version!Related content

This is really a lovely bit of artwork. I like the slightly foggy effect of this painting, it accentuates the magic of their love story. Love the symbols too! Sickle moon and heptagram... The contrast of colours is also very nice, although personally I imagine Nimue with darker hair, but that's just me! Now what I really love about your painting is the shaman looking cloak you gave Merlin. It's so perfect, because that's just how I would picture ancient druids, or their predecessors.

Oh god, I'm horrible with foreheads too! I like the gold tones though...considering the dark sky in the back - nice clash. ~K

The subtle changing colors and texture of the cloak is brilliant; how it blends in to become part of the stars. Nimue's forehead is a little too small, but Merlins face and expression are very good. Brave - and tricky - to shade with completely different colors, however you've pulled it off.

Ta very muchly m'dear! I see what you mean 'bout the forehead. Anatomy is probably one of my weakest points. Ah, well- practice, practice, practice!
